I had an IG puppy foster that I trained to walk on a leash with no trouble by using a yard stick with peanut butter smeared on the end. I put it in front of the puppy and let her lick it as we started walking. I praised her as we went along. After walking for a little bit, I started lifting the yard stick while praising and continuing to walk. It was so easy to train her like this. I only took her out a couple times and walked with the yard stick before she was comfortable walking on the leash. I'd been to an obedience seminar and saw this just before I got the puppy. I couldn't believe how great it worked for me.
